Why a multivitamin can help you and make some big differences

This is a story from a patient who was in desperate need of help. You are not likely this bad off, but it highlights how a few simple things can make a huge impact.

“In a nutshell… Dr. Altman saved my life. When I first came to Dr. Altman 6 weeks ago I felt hopeless. I’m 36 years old and I truly felt that I was dying. I was so deeply entrenched in medical problems and worries since I was 6 years old, but I didn’t care what medications I took just as long as I could temporarily feel better. After all I thought didn’t have much longer to live, even my body support this feeling.

I was lethargic, depressed, forgetful, and had pain everywhere. I was taking 2 to 10 Ibuprofen a day. I was going through a bottle of antacids per week. This was in addition to my prescription. For asthma allergies and high blood pressure, but I was still having health problems.

I was referred to Dr. Altman and after my first adjustment I felt like new and I could actually move around without being stiff or in pain. I was put on a special diet with supplements (Catalyn and Organic minerals). Each week that passed, I was able to ween myself off, of different medications and I didn’t have any more problems with heart burn or body aches, and I have more energy and can even work out without using my asthma rescue inhaler. I even lost 10 pounds without even trying.

I wanted to let you read this to highlight two points.

#1 She improved significantly when her body started functioning better with chiropractic adjustments. You can learn more cool, and amazing things about chiropractic here.

#2 She improved even more when she added nutritional supplements back into her life.

This lady suffered for 30 years because she lacked these two fundamental things in her life. How on earth do problems develop? In our modern society they start with lack of nutrition. Five years after Monica was born, a report was issued that highlighted the coming epidemic of problems.

In 1977, Senator George McGovern released a report stating that obesity would soon be the number one form of malnutrition and rising medical costs. Yes, you read that right, even back then, they recognized obesity as malnutrition. But, in true governmental fashion, it was rewritten by food manufacturing lobbyists. The adulteration of foods kicked into high gear.

So why does that matter?
